Sunny Words
Friendship, dictating information
Good friends use positive words. Help reinforce those words with this sunny idea! Attach a sunny cutout and a gray cloud cutout to a wall. Tell students that sunny words are words we can say that make others happy and cloudy words are words that make others feel sad. Help students come up with examples of these two types of words and write their suggestions on the cutouts. Encourage sunny words in daily interactions. If desired, spotlight youngsters that use sunny words by giving them sun-ray bracelets (strips of yellow construction paper fashioned into bracelets) or sun hand stamps.

Colorful Apples
Identifying colors, sorting
Here's a fun print-and-use activity that's perfect for September! Cut apart the apple cards and place them in a pocket chart with the apples facing away from the viewers. Gather student name sticks (or name cards). To begin, lead students in singing the song. Then choose a stick and read the name. Have the child choose an index card, turn it over, and identify the color of the apple. Continue singing the song and choosing youngsters until all the cards are facing forward. If desired, help students sort the apples by color.
(sung to the tune of "Clementine")
Pick an apple, pick an apple, Pick an apple from our tree. Is it green, or is it yellow? Is it red? Oh, can you see?
